“It’s a clear case of self defense and defense of one’s property.”
Absolutely. Isn’t there any Castle Doctrine in Arizona?
“But that is apparently illegal now if illegal aliens are involved.”
That is very scary and absolutely appalling.
The poor guy and his wife now have property that is worthless and they cannot live on that ranch any more. All for defending his own property from armed invaders.

I don’t know about Arizona but in Michigan, one can’t use deadly force to defend property. The guy screwed up by admitting he fired warning shots which implies he wasn’t in fear for his life or felt he was in danger of serious physical harm.
